📋 About This Mod
Armor Durability
A simple complementary mod for “Swords Durability” by menschfeind13 that removes a sword from your inventory when its durability drops below 0%. Armor Durability covers the remaining repairable inventory items, applying the same functionality as Swords Durability to armor, gloves, pants and boots. If you fail to repair them in time and any of these items reach below 0% durability they will be "destroyed", removed from your inventory. Mod can be also used as standalone.
Installation
ℹ: Next Gen 4. 04 Exclusive, Merge-Free.
Copy the "modArmorDurability" to your: The Witcher 3/Mods folder.

All done via Visual Studio Code with WIDE extension.

Armor Durability extends the 'Swords Durability' mechanic to repairable armor items—chest armor, gloves, pants, and boots—destroying them when durability drops below 0%. Built for Witcher 3 Next Gen 4.04, it's merge-free and installs via a single folder in Mods. Works standalone or alongside Swords Durability.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds the same perma-destruction rules to armor, gloves, pants, and boots that Swords Durability applies to blades.
- Drop-in installation for Next Gen 4.04—no script merging needed, just one folder in Mods.
- Lets you run it standalone or stack it with the original Swords Durability for full gear coverage.
⚠️ Cons
- One endorsement and ten downloads—this is an untested niche mod with no community track record.
- Items are permanently destroyed below 0% durability, so one missed repair costs you the piece.
- Next Gen 4.04 exclusive; classic 1.32 players are out of luck.
For Witcher 3 players who want every piece of gear to obey harsh durability rules, not just swords. Ideal if you already run Swords Durability and want consistent consequences across armor sets. Skip if you're on classic patch or prefer a forgiving repair system.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Copy the modArmorDurability folder into your 'The Witcher 3/Mods' folder—no need to touch DLC or run script merger unless you have conflicting inventory mods.
- Carry armor repair kits and check durability after tough fights; the destruction trigger is below 0%, which can happen fast against monsters.
- If you pair it with Swords Durability, decide whether you want both active—standalone means only armor will vanish if neglected.
